The Britisher,s Last Sigh.

"Who's a buildin' that ere towerp" queried Briton who had landed at Castle Garden on Monday, as he gazed at the big medieval tower lifting its tall head far above the tracks of the elevated rail way and the grass and bushes of Battery park.

 "'Im as built the monument to Andry?" asked the late arrival.
 ''The same man, was the answer.

 ''Oh," answered the Americanized Englishman, with rather a quizzical air, ''this, you kno%-this is about where the British gave their last sigh before they sailed for 'ome at the end of the Hameri. can war, and this ere building is in mem ory of it."

The Cost of Whistling.

Angus Sinclair, of The National Car and Locomotive Builder, has pricked the ex- aggerated statement which has been go ing the rounds of the newspapers for a year past about the enormous quantity oi coal wasted in blowing the whistles of To- comotives. Taking the small duty oi five pounds of water evaporated with one pound of coal, and making other allow. ances, he fixes the coal consumption fol steam used in blowing the whistle of a lo comotive running 200 miles day to bt 146 pounds. Throwing in the ode pounds, calling it 150, and with coal al $4 ton, the cost of whistling would bt twenty-six cents day, rather cheap fol a necessity in railroading. g.-Boston Tran script.

AN AZTEC SEPULcHER.

Some Recent Discoveries in Arizona-A
 Giants Remains-A Group.
 Not long ago there were some strange discoveries in the land of the cave dwell CTS, not far from the Gila river, in the Sierra Madre range, in Arizona. The place of sepulture was securely sealed with cement, and was difficult to pene- trate. Great excitement was caused by the discovery among the Indians of the neighborhood, who, believing that the mummies were the mortal remains of some ancient deities, would fain have prevented their removal. The strange treasure trove was taken away only after several skirunishes.
 Who were they? That is a question that will probably never be answered.
 What were they? This question is an- swered in the care taken for the preser- vation of their bodies, and the skill with which form and feature were preserved to last for ages. They were evidently people of rank among people of won- derful character.
 One of them must have been almost a giant in life. The hair still adheres to his scalp, while the cartridges of the nose and ears are so nearly perfect that only a close inspection reveals their imperfec- tions. The eyebrows are still distinct and well defined, while between the com pressed lips the cork like tongue and glis- tening teeth are plainly visible. The flesh on the bones is, of course, considerably shrunken, but the muscles stand out in bold relief, and the features still preserve the unmistakable characteristics of ancient Aztec physiognomy, which is, indeed, strongly marked in all the bodies in the collection. In size and stature and in general appearance they strictly core spond with the descriptions given by an- tiquarians of the prehistoric Aztec race.
 Then there is remarkably interesting group-a mother and female child, the latter apparently about years old. They were wrapped in one shroud The deli cate ineaments of the mothers face s-= clearly distinguishable, while the perfect preservation of the child cannot but be a mystery to scientists.
 Still another of the bodies is that of a woman who may have been an Aztec belle. She was young, and her silky flowing hair is in Q perfect state of pres ervation. Her small, delicate hands anG feet, with her long, fine nails, lead one tC believe that she must have been one O. the aristocracy of that ancient common wealth. The beautiful coloring of hel shroud, remnants of which are still visi ble, show that her contemporaries were by no means ignorant of the arts of dye ing and weaving. Close beside her, ant wrapped in shroud of similar textur, and color were found the remains of ; stalwart man, who might have been, fo aught we know, her husband, father O lover.-Inter Ocean.

Funerals In Mexico.

Women do not attend funerals in Mex ico; it is against the rules of society, and the reason is said to be that they cry too much. A wife cannot go to her hus- bands funeral, nor can a mother follow her babe to the grave. One of the pret- tiest customs in Mexico is the universal respect which greets a passing funeral. Every man, from the millionaire to the half clad poor, takes off his hat till the sad train has passed. We'll dressed seno- ras bow their heads and cross them selves, while Indian women kneel in prayer.-Boston Post.

Failure of the Revised Edition,

Perhaps never in the history of print ing says Philadelphia publisher, ''has a book fallen so flat from which so much was expected as the revised Bible. Hun dreds of thousands of copies were issued, either to remain on the booksellers shelves, or to be finally sold at pound rates, like so much waste paper. do not mean to imply that as many Bibles are not bought as formerly, but after the first curiosity to compare the revised edi- tion with the old was satisfied, people re- turned to the King James version, to which, in all probability, they will stick view.

They Got the Funds.

The other day little Herman, aged 6, and his brother, year younger, made a call on their uncle, who is quite hard of hearing. They evidently wanted some thing, but he could not make out what it was. After great deal of loud talking and manipulating on their part, he told Herman to speak slowly and in his ordi- nary tone, and this is what he heard: ''We-want-so thing to-b buy - something The little fellow argued that as his uncle couldn't under stand that they wanted money, he would have to translate bis request so as to make it intelligible.

Novel Method of Advertising.

Street fakirs adopt many curious means of attracting purchasers. One of the most novel is that of young colored man who sells dogs on lower Broadway. Underneath the collar of the puppy he thrusts handful of greenbacks or na- tional bank currency, doubling the bills in the center and folding them back so as to form huge rufae of green paper around the animals neck. With dog thus adorned under his arm he is quite & spectacle, and finds good many custom CTS who are attracted by his novel method of advertising. New York Tribune.

Work of the NihiIists,

The Nihilists, according the police au- thorities in St. Petersburg, have resumed active work, collecting money ostensibly for charitable objects and spreading pam phlets broadcast. They are said to have discovered an ingenious method of dis tributing the pamphlets by introducing them into the cigarette boxes which are sold throughout the country. Eighteen persons were recently convicted of being connected with a secret political society, and sentenced to exile in Siberia. a.-Frank Leslie's.

Children of the London Poor.

It is almost impossible for country peo-
 pie to recognize the dense ignorance as to all matters agricultural and rural from which the children of the London poor suffer. The parson of London parish asked one of the children who had been boarded out under the new poor law reg ulations how he enjoyed the change of air and scenery. ''Please, sir" said the urchin, 'I don't like it at all; instead of giving me milk out of nice clean tin they squeezes it out of a nasty cow-l seed lem doing itl''-Boston Transcript.

 Till the noon seems gray,
 I'll thou art my day, And for me there is never sun but thee. Lilith, thou chillest me By the cold in thy frost touched eyes; Numb from the winter in thee, Freezing my heart in me lies,
 Till the snow seems sweet
 And the ice tips heat, And for me there is never a frost but thee

Mining In tho Ar tic Regions.

It may not be generally known that i'm

load to be used in the making OF candles. At
Alien, near the North cape in Finmark, ex.
tensive copper mines have been worked for q
long time.
When it is remembered that most of the
work has to be done under ground, and that
heat is what the workmen suffer most from,
it becomes apparent at once hat mines may
be almost as profitable in these high latitudes
as they would be On u coast. The main
thing is to have communication open once a
year for bringing supplies and carrying away
the ores.
An engineer who visited tho mines at Alien
a few years ago, to study the condition in
which they were worked, found that the eli.
mate ~interposed no obstacle. The mines
when fairly deep. are warmer in winter than
in summer
In such work as has to be done above
ground, there is scarcely any interrupim.
During the three dark months, when tie sun
does mo- shine, there is no lack Of light to tho
eve accustomed to the conditions.
The sky is clear and starry, the aurora is
playing most Of the time, and whatever light
there is the reflection from the snow increases
and intensifies.

Our esteemed contemporary, The MINER,
which has nothing to say about the "par.
tisan meanress" Of the Democratic House
in beating the registration bill, denouncee
the Republican Council for rejecting the
nomination OF Col. Thomas l.. Napton for
Attorney eneral.-Inter Mountain.
There is no parallel whatever between
these two questions. We have held that a
registration law is d good thing for popu-
lous centers, but not for a Territory like
Montana, where the polling places are so
remote. especially in the eastern parts Of
the Territory, that a full vote cannot be
had without the annoyance and neglect of
business involved in a preliminary trip for
registration. Wedon't believe that the Legis.
ture took q partisan view Of this question,
but looked at it from the broader view Of
citizens who wonld have the Territory poll
its full vote for the purposes of Statehood.
As to the Napton case, we put in u
protest that SO able IN attorney and so
good a man had been set up as a man of
to be knocked down by partisan
malignancy. It vas IN outrage to one of
the foremost members OF the bar OF the
city OF Butte, and one which his party and
foremost friends will resent when the op
portunity offers.
